Cullowhee International keeps the Carolina skies busy: Jackson County Airport continues to serve regional and local aviators By Gary Takacs * WCnewsmagazine From dusk to dawn, WCU students will see a greenish-white light above the Cullowhee valley. *Note to new area residents, this is not a call in the night to a super hero, its just the airport. Jackson County airport, comically known to some Western students as Cullowhee International, rests on a mountaintop overlooking Western Carolina University and the surrounding communities of Webster and Sylva. In order to ease take off procedures, runway #15 is sloped downward at a gradient of -1.63%. It is sloped at this angle to increase a planes ground speed to be fast enough to lift off before the runway ends. Equally as important, runway #33 is sloped at +1.63% to slow an incoming aircrafts speed quick enough before the mountain ends in the opposite direction. The Jackson County airport runways are 3003 feet long (roughly eight football fields) by 50 feet wide. Not surprisingly, the runways have a weight limit of 12,500Ibs. With these measurements, certain types of planes are allowed to take off and land there. Single engine, as well as multi-engine, aircraft meet the requirements to use the Jackson County airport facility. si oe Surprisingly, the airport has a weekly use average of 84 planes per week. The highest use is from general aviation followed by the U.S. military and lastly from air taxi services. The hanger area is equipped with a fueling station that can be used around the clock, even between normal operating hours. With the price of fuel exceeding $3.00/gallon on the runway, the airport perched at 2,857feet above sea level isnt the only thing thats steep here in Cullowhee. Sylva residents will vote on liquor by the drink By Carla Batchelor * WCnewsmagazine On November 8 local Sylva residents will be voting on the hotly- debated item of liquor by the drink. This issue has been on the ballot over the years, each time failing to pass by the required number of votes. In 2002, the last election in which this item was on the ballot, it only lost by nine votes. Nine! If liquor by the drink is passed on November 8, the restaurants within Sylva will have to apply, qualify and pay for a specific permit in order to sell mixed drinks, a permit that costs $1,000. In order to qualify for a restaurant permit, an establishment's gross receipts from food and nonalcoholic beverages shall be not less than thirty percent (30%) of the total gross receipts. from food, nonalcoholic beverages, and alcoholic beverages. A restaurant shall also have a kitchen and an inside dining area with seating for at least 36 people. The alcohol restaurants use according to North Carolina state law must come from the local ABC store. The restaurant will call, place and order for the amount of alcohol they need. All of the liquor purchased in North Carolina comes from the individual company straight to the distribution warehouse in Raleigh. From the Raleigh warehouse, the items are cataloged, organized and shipped to ABC stores across the state. Liquor is marked up 90 cents in the warehouse to provide for transportation and delivery to stores across the state. Only alcohol approved by the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission is allowed to be sold in stores and restaurants. Once all of the taxes on liquor have been paid to the Department of Revenue & the Department of Human Resources, 5% of the gross profits benefit law enforcement and 7% benefit alcohol education. The net profit is then left, so 10% goes to Sylva recreation and 10% goes to Jackson County recreation. Of the remaining profits, 50% go to the Sylva General Fund and 50% to the Jackson County General Fund. While it may seem that the m is di take an examination very similar in nature to the SAT and the ACT required for undergraduate admissions. Depending on the field a student plans to pursue, graduate programs tend to require individuals to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). Some colleges provide educational outreach sessions to help students prepare for the GRE and other exams. However, most colleges do not due to copyright laws and other infractions towards ETS (Educational Testing Service). Luckily, Western is able to make GRE prep a possibility. This semester a GRE Cram Series will be co-hosted by the Catamount Academic Tutoring Center and the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. The series will consist of four, two-hour sessions. These sessions will do a number of things to help students prepare for the GRE. Participants will have a chance to build vocabulary and math skills, practice essay writing, learn test taking strategies, identify their weaknesses, and discover available resources. This opportunity is FREE to all over the place, all the money actually goes back into the community. When local restaurants choose to apply and pay for a permit, the profits of our ABC Store will dramatically rise, as will the money that is placed back into the community. This money will be used to improve the quality of Sylva as a whole. Some might argue liquor by the drink will increase the number. of DWI/DUI cases in the area, but with the increase in funds to the county, they carr hire more officers. Also, some students drive drunk after simply drinking beer at a local restaurant or off campus party; the number of students who get behind the wheel of a.car after drinking is not likely to rise dramatically... ic If liquor by the drink is passed in Sylva, the economical make up of the town will change. Chain restaurants such as Applebees and Outback will be the features of the town, instead of our locally-owned and operated restaurants. Some local restaurants would lose out if they were not able to afford the fee for a mixed drink license. With the competition of new restaurants, the local restaurants would be forced to step up the customer service, food and quality, characteristics that some restaurants can lack. While the prospects of new businesses can often promote normal competition, this could lead to the downfall of the down-home feeling. This feeling is something that Sylva ; residents and Western students pride themselves in. As the University grows, the possibilities for new restaurants and commercial businesses will increase, and the landscape of the town will change. But it is up to the residents of this area to keep the down-home feeling, regardless of how many new students and businesses come to the area. So, on November 8, think carefully about liquor by the drink; it has the possibility of bringing great changes to this area. = as seats are very limited.
